1. In order to participate in HAL's trivia and rains you need to be level 4 or higher.2. By default when you rain people in chat, people will be picked up if they have level 4 or higher. You can change this by raining like this:

Code:

/rain 10 0.001 minlevel=2

This would tip 10 most recent people from chat with level 2 or higher a total amount of 0.001 BTC.

I hope this will keep the chat fun for everyone while limiting the (recently frequent) abuses. I am also pretty sad that almost all abuses come from just a few countries. Actually, from two.

Cheers!Ethan

You start from telling about users abusing Rain system,then you say that it's sad because abusers come from a few countries and you stop when you limit this to two specific countries. Can you end this by telling us and which is these countries? I am more curious now to know...

Btw,how can someone abuse the rain system? Is this possible?

It's quite possible. Many people hang out in the chat all day waiting for rains and trivia and never make any deposits, begging for followers for EXP to also claim faucet. Not only that but people starting using chat bots to answer trivia and post random words in chat every so often to collect rains. The rains and trivia in chat are meant to be fun for people, not something for people to abuse, because it gets rather costly for Ethan as well.

Ethan wouldn't impose these new measures unless he had a good reason to. And HAL was obviously being abused by quite a few people that don't contribute anything to YOLOdice; and I don't mean just profit: They don't chat constructively, and if they have no XP it means they haven't wagered much or referred anyone either.

You are to blame.the rain comes only in the English chat.Many players do not know how to speak English,so they are forced to spam.If you cease to make discrimination on linguistic grounds that everyone will be able to communicate properly in their chat rooms and to participate in quizzes,to rain

You liars,I was banned 3 times for what I quickly answer the questions,and do not complain immediately ban,why did your moderator Dastin not to ban?He is also quick respond,is why everyone who first meets in the ban?And when the moderators are quick to respond to all questions and prizes currently taking is this normal?You scammers

First you offer to moderate, and then you call us scammers? Over free BTC? Really? It's a little hard to see through all the FUD, especially with another dice site's referral link in your signature.

I spend almost all day on-site, and the Mods hardly ever participate in HAL's rains or trivia. And even then, the Mods (including myself) rain and do trivia on their own (with their own money too), quite frequently. You can ask anyone that's a regular in chat.

And lastly, nobody is discriminating. As Ethan said in this thread before, English is one of the most widely used languages, which is why we have the bot in the English chat. He also said that if YD kept growing to the point where we needed rain bots in chat, he would consider it, but I don't think we've reached that point yet. He can't afford to run bots in every chat for every language giving out free coins; that's just unrealistic and expensive.

never complain about free money,it is up to the site to give players incentitives to playand up to the player to vote with his coins or presence on that said siteif you are not happy,move on-there are plenty of sites to be choosing fromyolodice is doing good in this regard-their trivia and rains are cool and generous,don't understand why people compalin about it

I totally agree with this. The site isn't made to give you free coins but to gamble. People who want free coins may go to some shitty "Click to get free satoshi every 5 min" site. I believe the site owners and dedicated moderators shouldn't be demotivated when they think something good for their users.

I am not sure what the rant is about. Actually the first complaint about the "rain" system came from a few high-rollers that were frustrated their rains go into oblivion instead of real players. Randall was trying to convince me to implement some restrictions to the rain system, but I was reluctant to do this since I was affraind this could harm the players.

Regarding HAL's rains and trivia - I am not that much affraid of actually abusing the system and taking the money out of it (HAL burns our coins at constant rate), but rather of automated bots stealing the fun. Rains and trivia should be for human players and should be fun to participate. If you have bots that answer trivia questions within milliseconds, it's hard for players to compete agains them.

Indeed, it's our decision how we distribute free coins. Bear in mind we want to make if fun for people that stick with us and it's not that easy.

Nothing is set in stone. Let's see how the new rules work - the code can be changed quickly almost anytime.

HAL comes from nowhere when you least expect him to do so. People that are active enough or attentive enough gets rewarded. One unique feature of yolodice that is very fair IMO.

There is a thread someone started about casino and dice sites having achievements somewhat like the gaming platform steam does where is you get achievements worth XP for doing things like 3 wins in a row 3 losses in a row then harder ones like 5 or more wins in a row ect. I think it would bring in an extra element of fun. I told the OP Yolodice have many innovative features and I'm sure they will bring in some form of achievements.

I forget the URL but that's already high up on the suggestion board under "in progress", I think they're already working on it

I was thinking about a similar thing too. It's still on the "todo" list though. I think it would definitely bring even more fun into the game.

yes,players love all sorts of badges,achievements,medals etc. even if they do not worth XP or actual money e-peen is real,do not underestimate the power of e-peen,hahaon a more serious note-if there are hard to get gambling achievements like "get 20 wins in a row on 50% win chance"it will stimulate players to try out new systems and also spend money to unlock them
